The 28 doors on fire

On the night of Tuesday, March 21, the monument “Das Haus der 28 Türen” (The house of the 28 doors), in Oranienplatz, was destroyed by the flames.

The art work was a symbol, dedicated to all the people who have been forced to flee their countries, coming to Europe.

Asylum seekers are flooding Germany, and the numbers are record: last year more than 200,000 people have applied for such status, and not all Germans are happy to welcome the refugees, as some political movements have shown at beginning of this year with demonstrations.

For this reason investigators think this is an arson attack, and not just an unfortunate accident, the site is actually closed to visitors, under investigations.
